I've also found tenants from online classified ads, holding an open house, and from my own website. 

If they give you 12k for the right to own 10 % of the equity ( this is all negotiable ) at a future date, their IRA does not incur the liability of owning R E within it.

just reading online it seems like it should be a matter of months, not years. but i am not educated in the topic... perhaps it is very complicated!

I rented my condo out last year in July, and to date it’s still the highest $/sqft in the entire community of about 300 homes.

The asking price is $700,000.Now, having not completed a deal to date, I sense that I am wading into the deep end here.

The IRA gives you 16k for an option to own 20% of the equity at a future date. 5 years goes by and you decide to sell.

We have 20 days left before scheduled closing date.

Mentioned a great point, the tax consequence of a sale will bring property tax up to date based off the sale and the last time it was accessed was when the park was built in 1938 so I’ll be facing a huge unknown there as well so all in all I think the “F” factor is way to high with no upside that I can see.
